Performance

If you think the previous generation of the Civic Type R performed like a dream, this one may amaze you even more.

Even though Honda carried over the engine from last year’s model, the 2017 Type R's performance will likely top that of the previous generation with a recessed air scoop that delivers extra air to the engine.

It comes packed with a bunch of performance-boosters, including:

An adaptive suspension system that assists with the car’s handling and stability

A differential that enables tight turns and better control

A triple-exhaust tip system

Three customized driving modes that automatically adjust the car to the desired performance level

Interior

An interior worthy of the racetrack

Described on Honda’s website as “race-ready from the inside out”, the interior closely resembles that of a regular Civic Hatchback. The only exceptions are the lightweight bucket seats, leather steering wheel, an aluminum shift knob for the 6-speed manual transmission, and aluminum pedals.

Technology

The future is here with a state-of-the-art touchscreen system

The 2017 Civic Type R will come right out of the factory loaded with top-notch technology that will add a whole lot of comfort and convenience to your driving experience.

Honda confirmed that there will be a 7-inch touchscreen compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can also sync it up with your satellite, Pandora, and HD radio stations and enjoy the crisp sound through a 540-watt, 12-speaker sound system.

The car comes with an automatic climate control system, which can be controlled via the touchscreen. The digital meter offers all kinds of information you could find, including the boost pressure, G-forces, and track times.
